  1. Seems like someone censored or deleted my initial comment, which only said that this march seems like a good, lively demonstration. It's evidently based on good grounds, understandably just demands, and it's impressive to learn that a demonstration last year in Glasgow drew 8,000 people, unless that doesn't include the males and some joined in, in addition to 8,000 women. Just verified by replaying some of the video and it's a young adult woman saying this beginning at about 1:26. She says the demonstration was 8,000 women, so add some males, for there surely must've been some, maybe enough to make the total of protesters 9,000, perhaps even 10,000; for men who had spouses or girlfriends participating might've chosen to just do their jobs in order to not lose a day of income. After all, bills still need to be paid. Unfortunately, the young woman didn't say how long the demonstration lasted in Glasgow, only saying that the strike "shut the city down", which again doesn't say for how long. A full day? And if not mistaken, then the video also doesn't say how long this new demonstration in Leeds lasted. Whatever length a demonstration lasts could be interesting to some people; maybe even many. A 1-hour strike isn't necessarily going to cause as much interruption of services like a full-day one c/would, just as a single full-day strike won't have as much effect as a full one-week one would; etc. A strike lasting until demands are met would be very impressive. A truly successful demonstration or strike should mean demands are finally met; or, so I guess anyway. The simple solution, again guessing, is to justly ensure that men and women are equitably paid by employers. Fairness is essential.
